In the Don't Hit the Ground activity, what is the exact condition for balloons and duration?

• A. Blow up balloons so there are 1-2 more than team members and keep them in the air for 90 seconds without talking
• B. Keep balloons in the air for 60 seconds while talking
• C. Blow up balloons until the room is full and keep them flying for 120 seconds
• D. Keep balloons on the ground for 90 seconds without talking

Answer: (A)

This item is about a silent, nonverbal teamwork challenge: keep balloons in the air for a fixed time, using a specific number of balloons relative to the team size. Inflate enough balloons so there are one or two more than the number of team members, then maintain them aloft for 90 seconds without talking. This setup tests coordination, awareness, and nonverbal communication as a group, since you must keep every balloon airborne without vocal cues.

The other options don’t fit the requirements: one mixes talking with a shorter duration, which breaks the silent aspect; another suggests an unlimited room fill and a longer time, altering the challenge; and keeping balloons on the ground clearly contradicts the goal of having them in the air.
